SERGAY JAKOOLEVITSCH TIMOHOlVITSCH, OF TROITSKAIA, KALOUGA, RUSSIA.

APPARATUS FOR FILIGRAINING PAPER IN THE WEB.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 394,030, dated December4, 1888.

Application filed September 14, 1886. Serial No. 213,544. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

TIMOHOWITSCH, of the town of Troitskaia, in the Government of Kalouga,and Russian Empire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inApparatus for lailigraining j Paper in the Web, and of which I declarethe following to be a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in machines for producing watermarks and lines in or on paper; and it consists in the use or employmentof a series of small ruling-disks suitably supported, which produce thewater marks or lines 011 the paper, the main object of said inventionbeing to supersede the application of the tedious and expensivemanipulations for producing lines on paper by means of a dandy roll ormold nowin general use.

One of the great advantages of my present improvement is that it ispossible to manufacture an exceedingly fine quality of goods with verylittle or no refuse, and at the same time greatly decrease the time andnumber of workmen hithertonccessary to attain the desired end.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of the completeapparatus. Fig. 1 is a top view or plan of the same. Fig. 2 is anelevation of the ruling mechanism. Fig. 3 represents the details of themechanism for supporting and operating the ruling-disks. Figs. 4 and 4represent details of the clamps for the ruling-disks. Fig. 5 is a viewof one of the adjustable blocks or supports for the small ruling-diskson an enlarged scale. Figs. 6 and 7 are a front and section,respectively, of the adjustable device for the paper-rollers A D, drawn011 an enlarged scale. Fig. 8 is a device for suitably adjusting thesupporting-bearing of the roller B.

Fig. 1 shows the general arrangement of the apparatus embodying myinvention. The roller or drum supporting the paper is shown at A,mounted in suitable bearings, which may be adjustablevertically, asshown. The

paper is carried from this roller over guiderollers a a, suitablysupported in the frame, and from the roller a it passes around a largeroller, B, where the lines are marked upon its surface, the paperpassing from this roller between the feed-rollers C C, over a guiding Beit known that I, SERGAY J AKOOLEWITSCH roller, (Z, to the winding-rollerD.

Small disks E E are arranged directly under the said roller B, supportedremovably in shanks or spindles c c, placed side by side in series often or twelve, six or more of these series being held between the railsF F and the beams G G. The said rails F F are journaled in suitablebearings, and are connected by means of rods II ll to an eccentric, K,by means of a rod, 1, whereby a backward.- and-forward movement impartedto the ruling-disks E E, which are rotated as soon as they are broughtinto contact with the paper drawn around the chilled cast-iron roller B.In order to produce a more or less intense line or water-mark on thepaper, the distance existin between the said paper and the smallruling-disks is variable, produced by the ad just-ment of the shanks ofthe ruling-disks. As shown in Figs. at, L, and 5, the lower ends of theshanks are provided with recesses which are adapted to receive smallbloc of rubber, g g, and when these shanks are in place between therails F F and beams G G they are supported each by a screw, '1', passingthrough a fixed nut, 71, and bearing upon the elastic material g. Inthis manner the rulingdisks are provided with elastic counter-bearingsto equalize the pressure on the paper.

The roller 13 is arranged in bearings M, so as to allow a longitudinal.axial movement, while an involuntary unnecessary movement is preventedby means of the spring N and the counter-screws O 0. The roller 0 isplaced in contact over the roller C, and by their action they reel thepaper from the roller B, and guide the same over the small roller cl tothe rewinding-roller D.

In order to laterally adjust the rollers A and D, a suitable regulatingmechanism is provided, such as that shown in Figs. 1, 1, and 7.

The spindles of the rollers are screwthreaded at one end, and areadapted to slide in their bearings, being coved by the handwheel X. Therollers D and A are held upon their spindles by means of cones Z held inplace by set-screws. Hand-wheels Y are provided for the verticaladjustment of the rollers.

The operation of my improved apparatus is extremely simple, and iscarried out in the following manner: The paper to be watermarked orlined is first drawn through the entire apparatus from the roller A,over the rollers a at, around the chilled cast iron roller B, overroller C, between rollers C C, and over small roller 01, to therewinding-roller D. The apparatus is then set in motion by any suitablemotive power, the different rollers having suitable driving wheels,whereby the whole set of ruling-disks is brought into contact with andpresses on the paper drawn around the cast-iron roller B by the actionof the eccentric K. At the moment of contact the ruling-disks commenceto rotate, and the intensity of the Water-marks corresponds to thepressure exerted by the said small rulingdisks on the paper. The widthof the watermarked lines correspondingly determines the distance atwhich the small ruling disks should be placed from each other. Theruling-disks may be made out of any suitable The manner of support maybe material.

In witness whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of twosubscribingwitnesses.
